          My favorite thing relating to this was seeing a person on r/conspiracy quoting men in black. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”

          The irony was completely lost on them.

      As far as I’m aware, those kind of people usually see Earth as the center. They also don’t necessarily believe that celestial bodies are spheres, but rather discs gliding along the firmament.

      I mean, you could buy a telescope and observe them for a few months, then you’d see the rotation of the planets. But yeah, I don’t know, if those people do exist, they’re probably not terribly interested in being wrong.
